It took the combined brain power of the internet to come up with a solution to the mystery — and it all lead to an awesome secret stash — a real world Valkyrie Spear tucked away in a park, discovered by following the coordinates received at the end of the ARG puzzle.

There’s also a fancy note, and a bunch of commemorative coins for those willing to make the trip. The note inside asks visitors to leave a note, and to take only one coins per person.

Rasputin Mystery SOLVED — And Here’s What Players Found

Let’s go back and explain what this is all about. Previously, I detailed the “Rasputin Mystery” in this post, covering the progress that had been made before the weekend deluge of information. Basically, it boils down to a strange symbol located in Warmind Rasputin’s lair, a location you can revisit after completing the DLC story campaign. When you’re back at the lair, it’s possible to locate a very strange symbol that points to hidden clues throughout Mars. It’s a truly awesome, complicated puzzle, and it’s amazing that the community managed to solve it so quickly.

Even if everything gets grabbed up by swag-thirsty Destiny fans, we still have photographic evidence of the spear (shown in the header image above) — and that’s worth something. Some players are already saying that the cache has been forcibly removed — though I couldn’t find any concrete evidence of that. For all the future generations of Destiny 2 players, if you find that weird image in Rasputin’s lair, I recommend giving up now and just checking out this thread for all the details.

The spear itself was found at the coordinates [43.549573, -73.544868] — found at Sleeping Beauty Mountain Park. That’s a long way to go just to check out a spear and grab a fancy coin, but this was an awesome little attempt at doing something cool on Bungie’s part.
